hey don't hate on Microsoft's...oh wait, they don't have an iphone counterpart
Okay, I'm done:D That said, what in the hell is this woman suing for $75,000 in compensary damages for. The $75k in attourney fee's also might be a bit of a stretch, but all I can say is she better have a damn good attourney taking on Jobs. $75k...wtf, begs the question what was destroyed by the fire besides the clothes and ipod:eww:

Who mentioned Microsoft or cell phones? I mean, besides what's-his-nuts up there getting defensive about them for no apparent reason.

An iTouch is effectively an iPhone without the phone or GPS.
Neither of mine has exploded so far, but it adds a certain excitement to the day knowing it could happen at any minute

While your typing and uncharacteristic use of smilies lead me to suspect you are intoxicated I will try to help anyways! 75k in compensatory damages isn't really out of line in this kind of case. Aside from the ipod and clothes it looks like there are hospital bills (which can get really big really fast), and "pain and suffering" is included in compensatory damages. And she's probably throwing a really generous estimate of the damages, because she'll probably get less than whatever she asks for. AND if she wants to get into federal court (and she is) on diversity jurisdiction (which is almost certainly how) she has to plead damages in excess of 75k.
She didn't ask for 75k in attorneys fees, she just asked for fees. When the trial is done if she wins she'll send in a bill and the court will adjust it for "reasonableness".

She suing the retail workers? You mean the college kids who have nothing to do with the product but are there just to hand it over the counter and pay off their college loans?
Damn, she's kind of a bitch :|

To be honest, that is kinda of retarded. I somehow managed to not notice when I skimmed the article and thought the whole "they should've tested it" was something that came in out of context. What a twat. Hopefully, the court won't follow suit.

She has to sue everyone who might be liable now because if she doesn't sue them now she might be precluded from suing them in the future. I'd bet that at least some of the employees get dismissed as defendants, especially if Apple is providing their defense (and they probably are because Apple if probably liable for any judgment entered against them) This doesn't exactly look like one of the cases where "it's the principle not the money" for this woman but this case isn't at all out of the ordinary. (And in fact it's so textbook that if I were a civil procedure professor I'd be using it as the basis for an exam question.)

On that note - what does everyone think of the ipod nanos?

They cost about 3 times what they're actually worth. Other than that they're probably great.
